Anyone else a twin or have family history of multiples?

Just curious - I have a fraternal twin brother but we are the only grand kids (both my mom's sister and Dad's sister weren't able to have kids -- not sure what that might say about fertility possibility).

I don't meet all that many twins so I was curious about the folks on this board.

    Twins don't really "run" in my family though my mom's brother was supposed to be a twin but his twin was stillborn.

    MH's family, however, is CRAWLING with multiples. His dad is a twin, his mom's mother is a twin, his cousin has twins, and his uncle has triplets. All are fraternal. 

    I think it would be fun to have twins but tons of work. It's not something I hope for but I don't think I'd be upset if I found out we were having twins. Triplets might make me freak out though.

    My dad's dad was a twin, that was the only multiple in my family that I know of and as far as I know there are no multiples on DH's side.

    My husband is an identical twin! They crack me up when they're together.

    I am a twin! I have a twin sister but we never had the blood test to determine if we were identical or not. People say that we are but we are nothing alike in our personalities (almost as if she has one side of the brain and I have the other). There aren't twins on my dads side but twins do run in the family on my mom's side.

    Twins run on my dad's side and he is a twin.  I also have four cousins on that side that have twins!

    I have twin cousins (on my dad's side) and my dad's cousin has twin girls, although both are fraternal.

    DH, on the other hand, was part of quintuplets. Only he and his brother (de facto twins?) survived as the other 3 passed away shortly after birth. MIL took Clomid for 5 days, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't monitored.

    Neat - thanks for sharing ladies.  I think it would be neat to have twins but I have no idea whether it is really any more likely than average that I would.Hmm
